NewBasfordlad 3,599 Posted December 19, 2017 Report Share Posted December 19, 2017 The sun starts to return after Thursdays solstice, yes I know it's a slow process but at least it's on the way back... 5 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted December 19, 2017 Report Share Posted December 19, 2017 Yes, I always think it's an important turning point in the year. I appreciate that January and February can be bad, but it's just a mental thing that spurs me on positively towards spring. Ive still got three bags of various daffodils to set, but have already got azalea, hebe's and jasmine in bloom. Along with acers, and various other shrubs with many buds on. As for my rhododendrons, we I can envisage them being out for the New Year. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
